Carlos Zambrano Game Quotations

My crazy times are over. That's when I was a rookie. I've got seven years in the big leagues. I think some hitters say, 'Oh, Zambrano is crazy.' I used to be. Now I try to pitch my game and do my best to help this team.

He told me basically this is your ballgame and the ball is in your hand,

I tried to throw a fastball inside, and the ball kind of slipped out of my hand where I didn't want to throw it. That was a big mistake. If I walk Chipper in that situation and get a groundball with the next hitter, then nothing happens and I should win the game 2-0.

We're hanging in there, staying within two or three games of first place. That we're pretty close without Prior and Wood is a good sign.

I think I was out of the game mentally, ... I was fighting with the umpires, and I was mad at (Murton). ... I apologized to him. I have five years in the big leagues. I don't have to do that.

Luck is something you always need to have. We have more chance than the Cardinals. They don't have some of the players they had last year, like Matt Morris. We have to start winning the first month, as many games as possible. We have a good team. We have everything.

I made too many mistakes in the games -- throwing, fielding, pitching. So far, this season has been weird to me. I can't worry about that. I have to worry about the future and cut some of my pitches per inning, and that's what we'll do. I have 30 more starts to go.

You have to enjoy the game. I enjoy everything about life.

I'll try to do anything to win a game.

I've always been like that. But there are times when you have to sit down and think about what you're doing in the game. You have to win as many games as possible to help your team.

I don't want to talk about my hitting. My job is to pitch a good ballgame every time out. The triple was a gift. I take pride in my hitting, but I'm not a hitter.
